On Saturday, The 6th of April will be held the final of the League Cup (Liiga Cup). In the edition of 2013, the two finalist teams are FC Lahti and JJK.In the two next posts, I will talk about the journey of both teams in the competition to reach the final, with reference to the results of both teams.Both squads, were in Group I. Interestingly the inaugural match of the competition faced Lahti and JJK (the 16th of January), with a 0-0 final score.FC LahtiAs I indicated earlier, FC Lahti, was drawn in Group I of the League Cup, with JJK, TPS and Inter.Lahti played their first game against JJK (already mentioned), with the final result of 0-0.In the second game, Lahti traveled to Turku where they got the first victory, after beating Inter 0-1 (maybe the great disappointment of the tournament).In the third match, again in Turku, 0-0, on this occasion to TPS.Meritorious end of the first round of Lahti, getting two draws and a win without conceding a goal.At the fourth match, Lahti, turns to face JJK, and again tie, this time 1.1. (If we look at these results, it is anticipated a final quite matched).Lahti's only loss in the competition came in the fifth round of the group stage, after receiving TPS (late leader of the group) and being defeated by 0-1.However, on the final day of the group stage, Lahti gets back to beat Inter Turku, 2-1, finishing in second place, with 4 goals for and 3 against.After the group stage, Lahti faces in the quarterfinals to Rops, who have to visit in Rovaniemi. The final score was 0-1, allowing the team access to the semifinals, where they received Kups.. The final result 3-0, with goals from Dantas, Hemppinen and Hertsi.Favourites? I would not dare to predict in this match, as though the final is played in Lahti, these are two "similar" teams that have tied both games they have played before .. It will be a good final, no doubt ....
